The signature menu focuses on steamies featuring hot dogs topped with finely chopped cabbage, mustard, and onions. Patrons frequent this establishment specifically for its iconic poutine, which features squeaky cheese curds smothered in a rich, savory brown gravy over crispy fried potatoes. The kitchen also specializes in classic smash-style burgers cooked on a flat-top grill to ensure a crisp exterior and juicy center. With a layout centered on functional efficiency, the counter-service atmosphere facilitates rapid turnover for those seeking traditional fast-food options. Each plate reflects a commitment to time-honored preparation methods that define the local culinary landscape while providing consistent textures and bold, salt-forward flavors that satisfy cravings for hearty, no-frills, and calorie-dense meals.

Institution immortelle , les mêmes bons hot dogs & frites que dans le temps lorsqu ils étaient de l autre côté de la rue avec les tables de snookers, les hamburgers sont bons aussi car il y a beaucoup de viande , les meilleurs hot dogs à Montréal , demander le piment de Cayenne souvent caché en arrière du comptoir. Il faut payer comptant très important de le mentionner.

Poutine aux saucisses hot Dogs,sauce brune, bien bonne mais sans plus. Le service est rapide malgré l'achalandage, only cash malheureusement, on y va pour la renommée , l'historique,ouvert depuis 1921. Ce n'est plus comme a l'ancienne adresse avec des grosse frites maison mais reste un incontournable à visiter de la restauration de MTL. 3.6⭐

Opened in 1912 in the former'red light district' (although still some entertainment across the street...) & FAMOUS for its STIMMY - FRITES (bien cuire SVP !!) & Orange ...steamed hot dog (order at least two), French fries & Orange Crush.

Un incontournable. Une institution. Un plaisir estival. Ou à la sortie d'un 5 à 7. Deux hot-dogs, une frite & un coke. Il fallait absolument que je fasse connaître à mes enfants... On est loin de la grande gastronomie mais demeure un lieu à voir à Montréal. Un lieu d'une autre époque. :-)

Pour vrai y'a pas mieux comme endroit & c'est certainement le meilleur hot dog que j'ai jamais mangé. Les gars étaient super cool & nous ont même proposé une photo avec la ceinture. On a adoré. Sans parler des prix imbattable de nos jours. 12,50$ pour 2 hot dogs frite & boisson !!! Merci à notre ami qui nous disais qu'il fais ca depuis 20 & 30 ans. C'est incroyable de voir a quel point on peut garder le sourire. Je recommande à tout le monde. J'ai fais 10h de route pour manger à cet endroit & je ne regrette aucunement

Nostalgie de mes années de jeunesse. Toujours aussi bon les hot dog vapeur garni de moutarde chou oignon accompagné de frites maison. Dommage qu'il ne reste que Montréal pool room. Au coin doré & frites dorées ont malheureusement disparus. Snif.
